On The Loveless

﻿﻿

I love this song, Dead Hearts is a song by the musical group Stars. I discovered it on the Like Crazy OST (love that film). Despite it's melancholy lyrics, and macabre metaphor, the music to like crazy has a sound that is astoundingly upbeat - think Arcade Fire meets Barry Louis Polisar (Juno OST's All I Want is You)!

And well, the lyrics are below!

Dead Hearts

Tell me everything that
happened,Tell me everything you saw.They had lights inside their
eyes...They had lights inside their eyes...Did you see the closing
window,Did you hear the slamming door?They moved forward and my heart
died...They moved forward and my heart died...Please, please tell me
what they looked like,Did they seem afraid of you?They were kids that I
once knew...They were kids that I once knew...

I can say it, but you
won't you believe me.You say you do, but you don't deceive me.It's hard
to know they're out there,It's hard to know that you still care.I can
say it, but you won't you believe me.You say you do, but you don't deceive
me.Dead hearts are everywhere!Dead hearts are everywhere!

Did you
touch them, did you hold them?Did they follow you to town?They make me
feel I'm falling down...They make me feel I'm falling down...Was there
one you saw too clearly,Did they seem too real to you?

They
were kids that I once knew...They were kids that I once knew...

I can
say it, but you won't you believe me.You say you do, but you don't deceive
me.It's hard to know they're out there,It's hard to know that you still
care.I can say it, but you won't you believe me.You say you do, but you
don't deceive me.Dead hearts are everywhere!Dead hearts are
everywhere!

I can say it, but you won't you believe me.You say you
do, but you don't deceive me.It's hard to know they're out there,It's
hard to know that you still care.I can say it, but you won't you believe
me.You say you do, but you don't deceive me.Dead hearts are
everywhere!Dead hearts are everywhere!

They were kids that I once
knew...They were kids that I once knew...Now they're all dead hearts to
you...Now they're all dead hearts to you...They were kids that I once
knew...They were kids that I once knew...Now they're all dead hearts to
you...
